This week's featured property is a stunning Grade II listed former farmhouse that beautifully blends historic charm with modern living.

Set in the heart of the sought-after village of Wedmore, this five-bedroom period home on Sand Road is up for grabs with a guide price of £1.5 to £1.75 million through Sandersons.

The property, built on the site of a farmstead dating back to the 1600s, boasts a magnificent Georgian façade and an impressive array of original features, from worn limestone flagstones to elegant Regency-style windows and expansive elm floorboards. It's a picture-postcard home that's been tastefully restored over the years, retaining its historical character while offering all the amenities of contemporary life.

As you step through the oversized front door, the entrance hall, lined with flagstone floors, opens up to reveal a series of beautifully proportioned reception rooms. The living and dining rooms each feature original inglenook fireplaces complete with wood-burning stoves, perfect for cosy evenings in. Both rooms lead out to the front garden through stunning Georgian French doors, flooding the space with natural light.

The country-style kitchen is the heart of this home, with a classic gas Aga, granite worktops, and plenty of space for family gatherings. Adjacent to the kitchen is a must-have butler's pantry, adding both practicality and charm.

The third reception room is currently used as a library but offers the flexibility to be converted into a guest bedroom, complete with a separate shower room. If you're looking for a home office or a place to retreat with a good book, this space, with its French doors leading to the garden, could be just the spot.

Upstairs, the property has five spacious double bedrooms, each with its own unique character, and three bathrooms, including an impressive family bathroom with a freestanding slipper bath.

The main bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the other rooms boast wide-planked flooring and views over the garden.

The attic spans the full length of the house and is currently used as a magnificent playroom, but with its exposed wooden rafters and Velux windows, it could easily become a luxurious master suite or additional family living space.

An idyllic garden and even more potential

Step outside into the private walled garden, where you'll find a series of charming outdoor spaces, from a courtyard terrace to a lean-to pagoda that provides a perfect spot for alfresco dining, rain or shine. The stone-built garden room, which was once a working bakery, is now a delightful studio, offering a tranquil space for creative pursuits.

But that's not all—the property also includes a large two-storey stone barn with planning permission to be converted into a separate two-bedroom dwelling. This additional building offers a fantastic opportunity to create a self-contained annexe, guest accommodation, or even an income-generating holiday let. With a separate title from the main house, the possibilities are endless.

With its rich history, beautiful setting, and flexible living space, this property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Somerset's heritage. Whether you're looking for a spacious family home, a potential business opportunity, or a combination of both, this period gem has it all.
